Notes
Remember the following points while cooking a quick and easy khichdi.
Cut the veggies in small or medium sizes. This will ensure that they cooked along with the rice and dal
I would recommend that you soak the rice and dry roasted dal for 30 minutes, which help to cook faster
Use an fragrant and flavorful rice variety
Replace oil with ghee
Add in some veggies
Dry roasting the dal makes a lot of difference, don't miss the step. Takes hardly 2 minutes!
